DEEP: Soundboard recordings suffering from a compressed feeling. Sound is a bit harsh on the rockin' tunes, better on the acoustic trax. These appear to be more Real Live outtakes, in better quality than on Real Live Outtakes, though a few songs overlap. The songs from Paris sound a bit better. This disk is somewhat enjoyable, though a bit grating to listen to. I would recommend this to those who really dig the '84 tour. Otherwise, it's a toss-up. (Great color cover but it's a 1974 shot on an '84 piece-I hate that).
